X CEO Yaccarino doesn’t have the X app icon on her first iPhone home screen page
Meanwhile, CEO Yaccarino might have put herself in a rather tight spot. While attending Vox Media’s Code 2023 conference in New York last week, the executive showed off her iPhone to the media and surprisingly her home screen did not include the X icon. Now, I don’t know about Yaccarino, but most iPhone users put the apps that they use the most on the first home screen page. This writer does that as well.
X CEO Yaccarino shows off the apps on her iPhone first home screen page which does not include X
Now it is possible that the X app icon can be found on another page, but if I were the CEO of X, you can be sure that the X app icon would be right on the first home screen page. And we question the CEO’s ability to think on her feet since she showed her phone to the press and allowed them to take photographs of it knowing full well that the X app icon wasn’t on it.
During the interview, the executive appeared to be “rattled”
“Yaccarino then asked, “Did he say we were moving to it specifically, or is thinking about it?” “He said that’s the plan,” Boorstin responded, “Did he consult you before he announced that?” “We talk about everything,” Yaccarino said unconvincingly.
She does say the right things making comments like, “It’s a new day at X, and I’ll leave it at that,” and “X is a new company building a foundation based on free expression and freedom of speech.” But how serious is she about X if she doesn’t even consider it one of the most important apps on her phone-if she even has the app on her phone.
We would wonder how much longer Yaccarino has left at X if not for the thought that finding anyone to take this job would be a daunting task.
